Falls from height are one of the leading causes of death from unintentional injuries. ⋯ Fall from height is a potentially preventable cause of skeletal injuries, as most of the injuries sustained due to fall from height were domestic injuries and occurred due to poor dwelling units.

We aimed to evaluate the results of volar locking and unlocking plate fixation of adult distal radius fractures. ⋯ Volar plate fixation is a good and effective treatment for distal radius fractures. The plate should be inserted properly and physiotherapy should not be ignored.

Case ReportsAdrenal injuries following blunt abdominal trauma in children: report of two cases.
Adrenal injuries following blunt abdominal trauma are uncommon. Adrenal hemorrhage in children associated with multiple organ injury, which has received little attention in the past, is an increasingly recognized phenomenon in modern trauma centers with the widespread use of abdominal computed tomography. Adrenal trauma occurs in the setting of multisystem organ injury. ⋯ We report two children with blunt adrenal trauma (one isolated and one with associated injuries), who were admitted during the last two years to our Pediatric Surgery Department after abdominal trauma. We determined the prevalence, management and general prognosis of blunt adrenal injury in the pediatric population. Traumatic adrenal hemorrhage appears to be an incidental and unsuspected finding that resolves on follow-up imaging.

[Evaluation of urogenital injuries in patients with trauma in the emergency department].
The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the patients admitted to the Emergency Department with urogenital system trauma and the factors affecting morbidity and mortality. ⋯ Urogenital injuries are frequently seen with other system injuries, and deaths generally occur due to the other system injuries. The timely identification and management of genitourinary injuries with an in-depth clinical evaluation are important for preventing deaths due to urogenital region trauma.
